This volume is a report presented by the National Research Council's Committee on Analysis of Air Force Engine Efficiency Improvement Options for Large Non-Fighter Aircraft, which began its efforts in February 2006. It was requested by the Secretary of the Air Force and the Commander of the Air Forcer Materiel Command to address the impact of increasing aircraft fuel costs and find ways to reduce consumption. It offers recommendations for engine modifications and re-engining, optimization and maintenance requirements, use of alternative fuels, new technology, and improving financing and contracting approaches. The Committee consists of individuals from the US Air Force, industry, and universities who work in aeronautics, engineering, and materials science. There is no index.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 192 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector Because of the important national defense contribution of large, non-fighter aircraft, rapidly increasing fuel costs and increasing dependence on imported oi l have triggered significant interest in increased aircraft engine efficiency by the U.S. Air Force. To help address this need, the Air Force asked the National Research Council (NRC) to examine and assess technical options for improving en gine efficiency of all large non-fighter aircraft under Air Force command. This report presents a review of current Air Force fuel consumption patterns; an anal ysis of previous programs designed to replace aircraft engines; an examination o f proposed engine modifications; an assessment of the potential impact of altern ative fuels and engine science and technology programs, and an analysis of costs and funding requirements.
